A German tech KZbinr I watch said, that camera control might disappear in a few years like the touch bar did on the Macbook. And honeslty? I believe him. It's a nice to have but the placement sucks and the control just doesn't feel right. If anything I use it to just launch the camera and then switch immediately to onscreen controls again on my 16.

[@TheMrMobile]

Yeah, that's a possibility ... but I feel it's more likely Apple will relocate the button (or perhaps enlarge it). There's a lot of potential to be explored in a side-mounted touch control. It was fun to see HTC and Google try pressure-based solutions, but I think touch strips are possibly more likely to succeed. (Like I say in the video though, just give me half-press-to-focus 😄)

Apples and oranges. Everyone interacts with their screen any time you use a phone, but I don’t know a single person who still transfers data from their phone over USB. People buy an iPhone because it works well and they know what they’re getting. A majority of consumers don’t have any concept of data transfer speeds, and if they have iCloud backup then 128gb is plenty.

[@forneverarrow]

First things first, you are one of the handful reviewers out there that provides the source of wallpapers used on the review! Thanks for that. I did an experiment a couple of years ago and left my iPhone 12 mini (awesome device/size, crappy battery) for a Galaxy Z Flip 4. I loved it from the first moment! The gigantic inner screen, the build quality (not of the screen) and the form factor made me use my phone even less and enjoy life. But there were issues... aside from the iOS vs Android ecosystem, the battery was just adequate when it was new and after about 2 years i had less battery even than the 12 mini (at the same age). And worse, the inner screen is full of nicks just by my fingers (the screen protector peeled off after 8 months and i can' find anyone that cant replace it here in Cyprus), and i am very very cautious about my devices in general. Long story short, i decided to switch back to a slab and the best one i could have picked the last May was the 15 Pro Max. Sure is a big phone but it solved all of my issues except the actual size: big battery, iOS, and a very durable screen (compared to any foldable)... As for the 60hz thing, i really doesn't mind. My wife has the iPhone 15 and i don't feel that the experience is inferior when i am using it. Its a matter of taste i suppose.

[@HavasiP]

1:32 OK I had no idea you could swipe on that icon to switch between inboxes... Doh

[@TheMrMobile]

Haha - happy to help!

[@rvnx]

It's a little funny that you mention the desire to switch to Android at the end. I've been an Android user since the inception of the Xperia phones, but the arrival of the 16 made me switch to iOS. There's something about how well integrated the ecosystem is into everything out there that has its own little appeal. It's not even so much about the hardware, but the experience. Especially when traveling a lot. Apple Pay is more universally accepted than anything else, Apps have features on iOS that are simply missing on Android or heavily gimped in some ways, and overall it just seems like that when smartphone integration comes to mind with companies, iOS gets there first. It's mainly this that has finally tempted me enough to switch, and while I miss certain aspects of Android (namely on the multitasking front), I can't deny that my iPhone feels a lot more "usable" in day-to--day life.

Like most people, I didn't know I needed 120hz until I had it and tried to go back to a 60hz screen down the line. It's a deal breaker. And cynical as all hell. $300 phones have 120hz screens. It's the norm. The standard. 128Gb storage? USB 2.0? I'm baffled as to why you'd buy this with the wealth of choice available in this day and age.

[@andyH_England]

No one is forcing you to buy it. If 120Hz is vital for you, Apple has the Pro for those people. If you think $800 and 60 are not right, move on. I won't explain why Apple does it, but there is a good reason, and one of the reasons is that Apple keeps taking 85% of all smartphone profits.

[@garronah]

@@andyH_England LOL. You're brilliant, aren't you. Nobody is forcing you to buy it. Where do you come up with these GEMS? How can I possibly argue against that kind of reasoning? Just pay more for something that should be, and is, the de facto for the vast majority of phones costing half the asking price. We KNOW that money is the reason. Nobody is saying it isn't. Damn, Dog. Do better.

[@andyH_England]

@@garronah Samsung sells the more expensive Flip6 with a 1080p display and I say the same thing to people that cry about no QHD, it is your money, your choice, so if 1080p hurts you, buy something with QHD!

As a normie iPhone user with no particular niche “needs” like refresh rate or special cameras, I’m glad the base models are stepping up because this’ll only help their longevity in the refurbished market down the line. Still rocking the XS, might upgrade to the SE ‘22/24 later on, but I can see myself going for a base 16 in a few years because of the amount of features you get here. The foldables are still tempting, that nostalgic feeling can be a very strong factor.

I went to the store to try the 16 and I was able to plainly see how slow the screen appeared. On Android, I felt like the 60hz phones were better and I at least I had the ability to tinker with the animation speeds and transitions. I think we have reached a point where some average consumers can see the difference. That being said, the 16 series is not much different from the 15 series except for AI and the RAM (which I am sure, helps). I tried the camera button and I hope it gets better with a software update because it felt...finicky. The cameras are what we expect, so is the update guarantee. It is a boring update.

I hear a lot of reviewers say it doesn’t matter cuz the average person won’t notice, and the other side being reviewers arguing how it’s disgraceful to even provide 60hz anymore. You on the other hand acknowledge that you yourself can’t really tell, but know others do. And you know what? I may fine it hard to imagine being in that perspective, but I know very well as a musician that there are people who are incapable of telling apart two very distinct tones. It’s just a thing that happens. With that said, I really appreciate your take. I am one of the many who can tell. I use high refresh rate panels on the daily. My iPhones and iPads are the only devices I have that are still using 60hz, and it’s bothersome but I tolerate it. Even so, apple has done a great job at making 60hz feel smooth as hell so it’s not the most bothersome thing for me during daily use unless I’m actively on my MacBook or Desktop.

Love the cats❤ Should include them more in your videos.

[@TheMrMobile]

They're weirdly tough to capture on video! 😄 Will drop a kitty-health update on the Captain2Phones Instagram once formerly-sick Steampot clears her observation phase.

@@TheMrMobile "Steampot" That's just so cute!

After taxes and everything else the base iPhone 16 costs about $1800 over here in Turkey, so yeah :3

Been wanting Apple to do a galaxy fold like phone for ages. I appreciate apples approach to waiting until they think they can do it properly and a little less “cutting edge”, but I do wish they’d do it much sooner rather than later.

I personally don't think a high refresh rate is a deal breaker *per se* . But its just that in 2024 not having it is a significant compromise. And thats fine, but whats not fine is a significant compromise in phone this expensive

Great review!

Razor phone was 5 years ago? Brother that phone released 2017 or 7 years ago. 7.

[@TheMrMobile]

Bah, you're right. For a second I thought I mixed up Razer Phone and Razer Phone 2 ... but even the latter was six years ago. Time is wild.

Dude I can’t believe everyone is so gaga for a “shutter button” when we’ve been able to photograph in landscape and use the volume up button as a snapper since the iPhone 5.

I actually use 60hz on my 120hz phone because it's either 1080@120 or 1440@60. But the difference is night and day, although once you get used to 60 it's fine.

Hello Michael how are you ? May I Please know which is the game being featured at 1:01 awaiting your kind and prompt response.

[@MiyuruWeerarathna]

superb review as ever

[@dtincworldnews8922]

Like I have said for all these videos, if you've never had an iPhone or an older model then go for it. But if you have the 14 or 15 then save some money unless you have to have the latest and greatest.

Is there going to be a 16 pro/pro max review?

[@joshdeee]

9:59 I'm confused why Apple hasn't enabled Always-On Display (AOD) on all iPhone OLED models. It's interesting that even Android devices like the HONOR X6b, which has an LCD screen, feature AOD.

[@goff256]

Because Apple tied AOD to the ability to ramp down the display’s refresh rate. The ProMotion display isn’t just about going up to 120hz.

[@NiceEyeballs]

I think they are sticking to 60Hz is because of the battery life. I don't see any other reason.

[@DarkPa1adin]

Artificial separation for it to remain a pro feature

The green shinola is marvelous.
